The sequence provided is \( 19, 16, 13, 10, \dots \). This is an arithmetic sequence because the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

Let's find the common difference, \( d \), of the sequence:
\[
d = 16 - 19 = -3
\]

The general formula for the \( n \)-th term of an arithmetic sequence is:
\[
A_n = A_1 + (n-1) \cdot d
\]
where:
- \( A_1 \) is the first term,
- \( d \) is the common difference, and
- \( n \) is the term number.

Given that \( A_1 = 19 \), \( d = -3 \), and \( n = 19 \), we can substitute these values into the formula to find \( A_{19} \):

\[
A_{19} = 19 + (19 - 1) \cdot (-3)
\]
\[
A_{19} = 19 + 18 \cdot (-3)
\]
\[
A_{19} = 19 - 54
\]
\[
A_{19} = -35
\]

Thus, the 19th term of the sequence is \( A_{19} = -35 \).
